This week, I worked on the camera, the lighting, adding torn up floorboard planks, and started on the grass.

I also voiced some concerns in class over how I felt the high-contrast textures deducted from the realism, and was suggested to look into better lighting. I'm pretty satisfied with the Bright-front, Dark-back aesthetic, but I wish I could even it out a bit. Hopefully I find a way to achieve the lower-contrast look without sacrificing the lighting I'm going for. Then, there's the scale.

I've added two 6-foot men into the scene to get an idea of how big the elements were. I had quite a bit of rescaling to do, but nothing too major. Going forward, I will continue to work on the flower bed, and also look to model more props into the scene.
